Day 11 | ~ Finality ~

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion is standing by the window and staring at the stars, hood down, one arm behind her so she can hold her elbow with her other hand. So many stars... So many more than she ever saw in Traverse Town.

Traverse Town. She's... She's going back there. Going back home. And once she's there... She needs to go back where she belongs. She needs to go back to Twilight Town, find Riku and Naminé and DiZ... and go back to Sora.

If she said she wasn't scared, she would be lying. She is. She knows this will be the last time she will see these stars, these people... The last time she'll get to see her friends here.

After a moment, she sighs softly and shifts her weight to one leg before turning and walking away from the window.]



[ooc: Xion is going to be seeking out everyone she's ever talked to so she can say good-bye and thank you. :D So have at her~]

But it has. I... There's nothing I can do. Nothing... I know to do.

[fortune_sought]

[looks up at her, her emotions bursting out as usual] I could talk life into you! But what would happen to this "Sora" then!?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I... [Xion sighs.]

I was created, not born. [She's going to be saying this explanation a lot.] And I was blank -- my face, my personality... There was nothing. But when I started to take the powers of Sora, I took his memories, too. I... Everything I am is based on Sora's memories. And he needs them back if he's going to wake up. So when I give his memories back to him... Everything that is me will cease to exist. There won't even... be a memory of me left.

[fortune_sought]

[stares at her] But there will be ours!

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion shakes her head.] All the links in this chain of memory... will fall apart.

[fortune_sought]

[shakes her head] No. No, it can't reach that far!

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Our hearts are connected, even... across all the worlds.

[fortune_sought]

Of course they are! So of course we'll remember.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

But you won't -- That's the thing. All of the links, all of the memories involving me, will go away, because what they're tied to will be gone, completely.

[fortune_sought]

I don't believe that. You'll stay in my memory--in all of our memories--for the rest of our lives. Do you hear that!? [she's never tried to use magic like this before, but it's all she can think to do]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion stays quiet for a long moment. Naminé... Memories are what she does. She's right, she has to be. But... But...]

Thank you... Sophie.

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie is speechless briefly] ...thank you as well.

What you've told me isn't right, but...I'm proud to know someone who could face it so bravely.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I don't have any other choice.

[fortune_sought]

You're choosing how you face it, whatever you may think.

I...hope your friends are well. And you, as well. [because she doesn't want to believe that Xion will simply be gone. she refuses to]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I... I hope so, too. [Xion presses her hand over her chest. Roxas... and Axel...

She wishes she would have a chance to say good-bye to Axel, too. But maybe... Maybe she'll be able to find him on the clock tower, if she waits long enough.]

I'm... glad I had a chance to come here and meet all of you.

[fortune_sought]

I...am as well.

[makes a face] Despite everything.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I think... It was worth it.

[fortune_sought]

[hesitates] Yes...in its own way, perhaps it was.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I... I want to thank you, Sophie. For... being so kind to me, and for helping me.

[fortune_sought]

[thanked for her efforts! what a rare day this is. smiles at Xion] And I should say the same to you.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion flushes a little, ducking her head briefly.] I... I hope that... everything goes well for you, when you go home.

[fortune_sought]

[smiles a bit distantly] Yes, well. They were going quite well when I left, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about there.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I'm glad.

[fortune_sought]

[smiles warmly back] Thank you.
